“There's a distinct boutique feel here, where the bar buzzes and the seasonal grill promises a standout Sunday lunch; it sits comfortably in Ashley Cross, Poole. It strikes me as a place where you could easily venture into Bournemouth or settle into local charm. This property's welcome, I gather, goes beyond just a place to stay.”
